Exegesis
The clause ve-et-hakkol {וְאֶת־הַכֹּ֖ל | wə-ʼet-hakkōl} ‘and the whole’ emphasizes completeness before lakach {לָקָ֑ח | lāqaḥ} ‘he took’ (without the vav), heightening the sense of accumulation.
In context — 1 Kings 14:26
And he took the treasures of the house of the LORD , and the treasures of the house of the king; he took everything, and he took all the shields of gold which Solomon had made .
